Carbon Costume

“Never miss a beat!” Neon Katt (Meg Turney) is a highly competitive Huntress in training, whom Team RWBY first encounters during the Vytal Festival competition that pits top student Huntsmen against each other. Naturally, Neon didn’t hesitate to trash talk her opponents and spin around them in rainbow circles, not unlike the Internet meme she’s named for!

Eddie Valiant (played by Bob Hoskins) is a hard-boiled private detective with a strong dislike for toons in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?  Eddie is hired by R.K. Maroon to investigate Jessica, the wife of Roger Rabbit, as he believes she is having an affair.  Eddie is slowly pulled into a much wider conspiracy and finds himself working closely with several toons, including Roger as they try to unravel the mystery and save Roger from the nefarious Judge Doom.  If you aren’t interested in shelling out the extra dough for the replica tie from the movie, choose one with a vintage pattern in a similar color scheme.

2020 has been a rough year. One that hasn’t given people many reasons to smile. But thanks to Ryan Reynolds and Match.com we have at least one: an all too timely commercial of Satan and 2020 linking up on match’s dating app.

2020 – whose icon is a picture of a murder hornet and played by Natalie Roy – matches with an entirely too bored-looking Satan played by Aaron Reed. And of course as soon as they get together all, well, hell breaks loose. 2020 steals all the toilet paper out of a public restroom, the couple breaks into both a gym (where the probably didn’t wipe down the machines) and a movie theater (where 2020 openly records the movie on her phone). They take a selfie in front of a literal dumpster fire and then watch the world end under the romantic flaming light of an apocalyptic meteor shower.

It’s pure chaos. And it is pure 2020.

This commercial gives us a great couple’s costume for 2021 – provided things improve before then. And it makes for a great way to take a darkly humorous approach to dealing with the stress of the year.

Satan’s look is really similar to Tim Curry’s Satan in the 1985 movie Legend. To recreate the look yourself you’ll want to start with some curved horns and red body paint. Black body paint makes for great accents and you’ll want black lipstick as well. That will cover your body’s upper half though can add a red bodysuit if you want more coverage than red body paint.

For the lower body you’ll want some fake fur pants and a broad leather belt that you decorate with thin chains. Matching black leather bracers on your wrists are another great accessory. And finally you’ll want those signature goat feet!

Dressing up as 2020 is a little bit easier. You start with a blonde wig with really heavy streaks. The style changes a few times during the commercial but heaving most of it down with two thin pig tails on the top is a good option. Once that’s styled you’ll need a jacket of fake red fur, a red top, red burgundy pants, and then a pair of red pleather boots. You can even bring along some toilet paper from your latest haul!

There are so many Batman variations that it can be a little hard to keep up with. But this version (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is unique in both his snark and the way he handles Harley Quinn. He’d have to be. This Harley isn’t your usual Harley. And when the lines between good guy and bad guy get blurred, things are bound to get interesting!

Batman’s costume in the show is pretty straightforward. He has a black cowl and a black cape that he wears over a grey body suit with the bat insignia on the chest. Because the insignia is a little different from most you can buy pre-made, you’re better off painting it on with black fabric paint. A yellow belt, black gloves, and black boots round out the look. You can add some bat-themed weapons and you’ll be ready to scour the streets of Gotham for evildoers!

In the Coen Brother’s film The Big Lebowski, The Stranger (played by Sam Elliott) is the narrator of the film.  He appears at the beginning, middle, and end, and even speaks with The Dude at the bowling alley bar while sipping on a sarsaparilla.  The Stranger is dressed like a relatively run-of-the-mill cowboy, but Sam Elliott’s trademark mustache really helps solidify the character as something special.

PAX Online 2020 was an amazing experience. Gamers of all types came together on Discord and Twitch to celebrate the […]

Everyone loves Loki, so no wonder he’s getting his own self-titled series on Disney+. Slated for a release in May 2021, Tom Hiddleston returns as our favorite god of mischief for a six episode season. It follows what happens after he escaped with the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame. The new clip dropped last Thursday along with the “WandaVision,” “Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” and “What If?” trailers respectively. In addition, Marvel revealed the logos to more upcoming shows and movies. We know how quick cosplayers are to assemble the latest designs, so consider yourself taken care of with this costume guide.

Edgar Frog (played by Corey Feldman) is one of two brothers that help run their family’s comic shop in Santa Cruz, California. Of course that’s just their day job. They’re monster hunters that specialize in vampires. They’ve learned every trick in the book. The comic book, that is. It seems to be enough, though. They face down the most dangerous vampires in Santa Cruz and live to tell the tale!

The first time the audience meets Edgar he’ in a now-iconic outfit: a camouflage t-shirt, red headband, and the distressed jeans that were very common in the late ’80s (the movie came out in 1987). It’s a very comfortable costume as well as easily recognized, so long as you have Edgar’s feathered hair held back with a strip of red fabric. If you don’t have a pair of distressed jeans you can get the look with a new pair and a tutorial like this one.

For added affect you can also carry around a few wooden stakes. Just in case Edgar’s reputation precedes you!

Jeri Hogarth might have been a man in the Marvel Comics version of Jessica Jones but Carrie-Anne Moss plays him to perfection in the Netflix adaptation. She is driven, sharp, and more than a little manipulative if that’s what it takes to get what she wants. Whether she’s dealing with Jessica, a client, or her own wife Jeri always has a goal in mind that she’s going after.

It’s not surprising that a woman with such tight control over her world is also professional and sharp in the way she dresses. She favors a long camel coat over sharp dresses, usually in dark colors. She wears these with nylons, stilettos, and a leather handbag.

Pupert Pesky (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez in the series and Haley Joel Osment in the movie) is the younger brother of Maggie and Aldrin Pesky.  At eight years old, Pupert is a rambunctious kid with a sweet tooth who enjoys being included in his older siblings’ fun.  Pupert’s costume includes a teal hat, matching shoes, and a striped shirt.
